Not to say you should definitely go buy it, but you have to remember that racers use what they are comfortable with, as they are going to smash into a corner at warp speed and just want a consistent feeling. Swapping to a fork they've had what, a month or two on for a major race is a big question mark for them. I think the fork is cool, I definitely won't buy one, but its cool to see some new tech and ideas coming to market. I think the next step is to go the Dorado route and make...

Yeah and she won last year on a trek, sooo maybe it’s more that she rips on a bike?

Brian Cahal also did a followup video where he tried the RR stem reversed (i.e. +15mm rather than -15mm), and said it felt better that way. I can't remember exactly but pretty sure he still washed the front once with it like that. I'm personally of the school of thought where I select stem length based on how it feels for steering speed as opposed to cockpit fit, then adjust bar and stack height to match across my bikes. But then again, I also ride 3 bikes with very similar modern but not crazy reach and CS lengths. I feel...

I think that the deeper you dive into this stuff, and the more opportunities you have to meet the people designing these mtb things, the more sympathy you develop and the more understanding you have over the flaws in the products. You lose the “everything sucks, the brands are selfish assholes who never give me the stuff I want for the price I deserve to pay” and gain a perspective like “damn it takes a lot of work to make bikes that ride this sick, and there is a ton of money that goes into this damn sport to fuel...

Brian Cahal's vid of him using the raised reversed stem also featured him washing out the front and eating dirt. You know it's something riders won't mess with when even the guy known for having a ridiculously high stack (Dak) runs a stem that roughly matches his offset. To me it seems like there's absolutely nothing to be gained from really short stems.

I also remember Gee Atherton using an ultra short stem years ago, only to crash a lot and go back to normal stems short after.

Didn’t mondraker go down this road years ago only to become more moderate? And if you look at race results of the most recent people using the super short stem theory - cough *gamux, you’ll see it’s not exactly the most successful thing in the pits. Seems a strange design ethos.. to position myself further backwards to correct my weight bias that’s happened due to an extremely long chainstay I have designed; I then needed to utilise a novel stem to shorten everything up and position myself centrally! Or am I reading it incorrectly?
